Over the last year and a half, staff in the Office of Special Events and City Attorney’s Office have reviewed potential changes in city requirements for parades to enhance safety beyond existing measures. The city implemented additional requirements in March 2023. Efforts continued thereafter to assess parade safety, especially for events that include motorized vehicles.
Staff has also conducted a thorough evaluation of internal processes. With revised safety guidelines and protocols, staff believes that “traditional” parades involving motorized vehicles could resume.
City Council is currently reviewing proposed considerations.
The City of Raleigh is providing an opportunity to collect feedback from the public regarding potential changes to parade safety requirements. Residents are encouraged to review the motorized parade safety presentation and considerations, and submit their feedback or questions.
